R U Ready for Some Basketball?

Maybe we can get Hank Williams, Jr. to record a new intro for the special tournament editions of Wildcat Week. It’s all basketball all the time here in Branson as the best small college basketball teams in country are competing for a national championship. If you like basketball this is the place to be. Both today and tomorrow, the schedule is packed with eight games a day. As soon as one game finishes, the next teams have only ten minutes to warm up before tip-off. Halftime is even shortened to ten minutes. And so it goes from early in the morning to late in the evening as each game follows in rapid succession. It’s obvious that the players and coaches must be mentally focused and ready to go when game time arrives. Coach Tonagel has done a great job getting his team ready for tomorrow morning.

On a more savory note, during our lunch break today I did have the honor of introducing my favorite restaurant, Famous Dave’s, to a few of our crew. I’ll admit that I let out a shout for joy when I saw the red sign for Dave’s. Almost immediately I had visions of beef brisket dancing in my head. This may sound like I’m going a little bit overboard but you fans of the barbecue king know what I mean.

I would love to stay and keep writing but it’s time to go. Another game is ready to start and after that… it will be time to eat again!
